illiquid market

out @ BE

For Dec 27 2011:

LO: BE
NYO: -2

LO: -2
NYO: Was not able to trade this session today, but it look like it was BE.

NYO was -1.3
I noticed you don't use trailing, am I right? This is important for the final results: some SLs could be smaller and some winning trades might not have happened.

I have started using a trailing stop of 19.9, that way I can possibly hit more than +20, on those days where the market moves quickly past the +20 point.

For today:

LO: -2
NYO: -2

Hi

is this still happening every London and New York opening?

If so would like to join in what are the actual times for placing trades?

Any idea how many guys are taking part in this?

Twice / day everytime the market is open!
If you're in the UK, normally your London open would be at 8:00 am
Ny open should be at 1:00 pm London time.

hey hey i'm approaching my 2000th post

what is happening every london open ?

fail

-0.7 loss (+ spread) at NYO.

I wasnt able to make it to the PC today for London open, anyone have the results?

Happy New Year! May 2012 be filled with true love, true friends, intelligence, passion, organisation, discipline, patience, good health , positiveness, peace, pleasure, happiness, understanding, smart decisions, simplicity euuh ok I'm gonna go sleep and cut the champagne

oh yea and I forgot, may it be filled with "epic wins" too...:nerd:

Today made 20 pips at NYO (yesterday was -2).

Good job RTRS! I wasnt able to trade today.

I'm sorry to hear it didn't fit your trading style... at least, you gave it a chance, longer than the average person. Good luck

damn...

I have put in a ton of hours working on these stats over the last month or so. Alas, I have no good news. I have been unable to overcome two major problems.

First, the data files are just too large. The EURUSD file has 130 MILLION TRANSACTIONS, each transaction one line of text. Each pair is 4-6GB, which is HUGE for a CSV file. I cannot find editing software that can handle a CSV file that size.

Second, I am not able to figure out Josh's EA. I need to customize the way it works, partly because it does not trade the way I want to test, but also so I can have confidence in the results.

I could download the data in smaller chunks, which I may end up doing. I could also look for someone to help code the EA, and I'm sure I can find someone among the many great folks here on FF.

But it's taking so much time that my goal of programatically automating the testing has to be put on hold.

I think I have imported the high quality Dukascopy data into MT4, though, so when I run it in the tester, I should at least get reliable results.
